Security National Financial Corporation (SNFCA). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-06-30.
Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 344.6 m USD in 2025; YoY growth 3.0%; net margin 11.1%; ROE 9.0%.
The estimated value range is 15.36–41.55 USD per share (median of 1 methods, agreement: single method); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 31.97 USD, the price of 9.22 USD leaves a potential of 246.7% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of 71.2% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

AI analysis
AI-generatedAI-generated analysis (Claude) from cited public sources; it may contain errors. Not investment advice. As of 27 Oct 2026 · Model: claude-haiku-5-5.
In brief
Security National Financial Corporation is a group with three linked segments, life insurance, cemetery and mortuary services, and mortgage lending. Revenues edged up in 2025, but the insurance segment's investment income fell in the first half of 2026, showing the group's sensitivity to the interest rate cycle.
SWOT
Strengths
- The group has three segments that support one another, and funeral market recognition helps insurance and service sales.
- The funeral policy niche faces less competition, giving an advantage in selling to customers with modest incomes.
- The company owns real estate assets, including the Center53 development, that can be monetised.
Weaknesses
- The mortgage segment lost money in fiscal 2025, and its results are sensitive to interest rate levels.
- Pre-need sales declined in fiscal 2025, while insurance premiums stayed roughly flat.
- Operations are concentrated in a few states, which raises exposure to local conditions.
Opportunities
- If interest rates fall, refinancing demand could recover and support the mortgage segment.
- Development of its own properties could add revenue if office demand holds.
- A recovery in at-need and pre-need sales in areas with company facilities could strengthen the funeral segment.
Threats
- High mortgage rates may keep reducing loan volume and pressure segment margins.
- State insurance regulation can impose costs and restrictions that delay business plans.
- Lower investment yields could reduce interest income that supports insurance results.
Risks
- Interest rate sensitivityhigh
Mortgage volume and investment yields depend on interest rate levels, which can affect several segments at once.
- State regulationmedium
Insurers are supervised by each state's regulator, and ongoing examinations could bring added costs or obligations.
- Geographic concentrationmedium
Cemeteries and mortuaries operate in limited areas, so local economic problems could hit sales directly.
- Weaker results in 2026medium
In the first half of 2026 the insurance segment's investment income fell and segment profit declined.
- Reliance on reinsurancelow
Part of the life risk is ceded to reinsurers, and if they fail to meet their obligations the impact on the company could be significant.
Investment thesis
What would need to be true (bull case)
- If interest rates fall and refinancing volume returns, the mortgage segment could move from loss to profit, changing the group's profile substantially.
- The funeral policy niche, with lower competition, could keep supporting premium growth and the policy base.
- Real estate assets and own investments could add income over time, independent of the lending cycle.
What would break the thesis
- If mortgage rates stay high, the mortgage segment could keep losing money and operating costs could exceed revenue.
- Lower investment income could reduce support for the insurance segment, which has been the main profit source.
- Geographic concentration and state regulation could limit growth, especially if unexpected costs arise.
What to watch

The business
The group runs three reportable segments: life insurance, cemeteries and mortuaries, and mortgages. The insurance segment sells funeral plan policies, annuities and accident and health coverage through independent agents in 42 states. According to the 10-K for fiscal 2025, the segments support one another: funeral market awareness helps insurance sales, and insurance subsidiaries invest under state rules.
The cemetery and mortuary segment operates eleven mortuaries and five cemeteries in Utah, one cemetery in California, and one cemetery and four mortuaries in New Mexico. Pre-need planning of funeral and cemetery services is an important part of this segment and links directly to the funeral policies the company issues.
The mortgage segment, through SecurityNational Mortgage Company, originates loans for homes and real estate projects and operates through 85 offices in 25 states. The company retains servicing rights on a small share of loan volume, so revenue depends largely on origination fees and gains from selling loans.
Segments
Life insurance
The insurance segment generated total revenues of 208265000 USD in fiscal 2025, with segment net earnings of 29439000 USD. Investment income rose while premiums stayed roughly flat, showing that investment income matters more than new sales.
Cemetery and mortuary
The segment had revenues of 33657000 USD and net earnings of 6584000 USD in fiscal 2025, nearly flat year on year. Pre-need sales declined while at-need sales grew slightly, and in the first half of 2026 segment revenues rose.
Mortgage
The mortgage segment lost money in fiscal 2025, with a net loss of 3871000 USD, better than the 4949000 USD loss in 2024. Refinancing volume fell because rates stayed high, and the loss narrowed sharply in the first half of 2026, but the segment remained below break-even.
Market context
The group operates in niche life insurance, especially low face value funeral policies, in local funeral services markets and in US home lending. Mortgage demand depends on interest rates and home sales, while the insurance market depends on investment yields, factors that could limit or support results.
Insurance activity is concentrated in a few states where funeral policies are sold to lower and middle income customers. Cemeteries and mortuaries serve local catchment areas, so segment performance depends on economic and demographic conditions in Utah, California and New Mexico.
Trends
- Interest rates and lending demandheadwind
Mortgage rates have followed US Treasury yields, and the lack of rate cuts reduced refinancing originations. If rates stay high, origination volume could stay below earlier levels.
- Investment incomemixed
Net investment income rose in 2025 on mortgage loan interest, supporting the insurance segment. If interest rates fall, this support could weaken.
- Demand for pre-need servicestailwind
Pre-need funeral planning remains a niche with less competition, because many insurers do not offer similar policies. This niche could support sales over the long term.
- Utah real estate markettailwind
The company is developing its own real estate, including the Center53 campus in Salt Lake City, which could add revenue if office and housing demand holds.
Competitive position
The group competes with life and annuity insurers, independent funeral homes and cemeteries, and large mortgage lenders. The filings say funeral policies face less competition because most insurers do not offer them, while mortgage lending is more intensely contested.
In funeral services, competition comes mainly from local funeral homes and cemeteries with direct community ties. The group's advantage is integrating insurance with services, though that integration works best where it has its own facilities.
- Life insurers offering funeral policies
Compete in the low face value policy segment, where the group says competition is lower.
- Independent funeral homes and cemeteries
Compete for pre-need and at-need sales in the group's operating areas.
- National mortgage lenders
Compete for home loan origination and refinancing across several states.
- Independent insurance agents and brokers
Sell other companies' products alongside the group's, so they may favour other providers.
